Abstract

Cory (1886a,b) described 13 new species. In this collection were four thrushes, two juvenile males (Cory Nos. 6385, 6388), one young juv. (Cory No. 6387), and one adult male (Cory No. 6386). The adult had been taken on 26 August 1886 and the others on 23 August and 26 August. These four birds, now in the Chicago Natural History Museum, comprised Cory's representatives of a new species which he called the Grand Cayman Thrush, Mimocichla ravida. Because so little has been published about this thrush, the present report was undertaken to summarize biological facts gleaned from a search of the literature, examination of all 21 extant specimens, and recent extensive field studies in search of the bird on Grand Cayman.
